In this study the effect of geometrical variables and welding sequence on residual stresses and deformation in Aluminium H321 have investigated by the finite element software Ansys. Thermo elastic-plastic model was verified by metallography experiment and measurement of post-weld deformation afterward, weld leg, penetration depth and welding sequence were optimized to minimize the distortion. It was concluded that weld-volume increase post-weld distortion and it can be minimize by choosing an appropriate weld sequence LA eng UL http://jwsti.iut.ac.ir/article-1-94-en.html M3 ER -
